I am looking for some input for a reel to throw light weight baits ie. weightless worms, small cranks up to 1/4 ounce, small ratltraps, probably nothing over about 3/8 or 1/2 at the extreme biggest most will do that 3/8 and 1/2 its the smaller then 1/4 im wondering about...The reel will go on a ABU GARCIA "Yabai" FCY 65L its 6'6" medium light action fast tip... I was thinking of the Revo STX, or possibly a Zillion I want a steez eventually but I need something to hold me over till then any input appretiated thanks guys

Just picked up two of those today. They also seem like a good choice, but i haven't fished with them yet.

A Daiwa Sol would sure look good on that rod.  A 2003 Daiwa Pixy with a souped up drag would be even more  Not exactly a perfect color match but one of my all time favorite light reels is the Shimano Conquest 50. You would love that reel with some 10/2 Power Pro on a sweet ML stick like the one you've got there.

I heard that Brooklynn Bill has a few left. You might email some of the Japanese Market dealers (Plat or JapanTackle) and see if they can find them for you. I also heard that there are some left in Australia. I found two on ebay...search for Daiwa Pixy and watch for an orange one. Good luck...they're getting harder and harder to find.
